The Witch-king, as he became known, established Carn Dûm as his capital and populated it with [[Men of Darkness\|evil men]], [[Orcs]], and other fell creatures.

		+	In {{TA\|1409\|n}} a stronger host commanded from Carn Dûm invaded [[Cardolan]], surrounded [[Weathertop]], and killed Arveleg. Again a coalition of Arthedain (now ruled by [[Araphor]], son of Arveleg I) and Lindon contained the menace.
